Delivery
Products are despatched direct to the customer from Grassline or an approved supplier.
Standard despatch time for most products is next working day for orders received and paid for by 12 noon each day. Saturdays and Sundays and official UK Bank Holidays are NOT defined as working days. Delivery of some transfer line markers may take a little longer as may pallet deliveries.
The published prices are for UK mainland deliveries. For delivery costs to the Scottish Highlands and Islands, Isle of White, Isle of Man and Northern Ireland, please contact our office.
You must notify us of the delivery point at the time of ordering the products. Furthermore, you must notify us of any matters which may affect access to the delivery point, such as (but not limited to) narrow roads, tight corners, weight limit roads, low bridges, steep driveways or hills. The number to call if there are any matters which may affect delivery is 01924 403344.
If you order a pallet quantity delivery, delivered on a pallet, again you must notify us of any matters which may effect access to the delivery point, bearing in mind that a pallet will generally be delivered on a larger vehicle where access restriction is even more important. Again, any matters which may effect delivery should be notified by calling us on 01924 403344.
Unless we are advised to the contrary, all deliveries will be left without a signature round the back of the house if no one is present to sign for the delivery or left on the drive in the case of a pallet delivery.
If this not convenient, then someone must be present to accept and then move the delivery after signing for it.
We will make every effort to deliver products ordered on the agreed date but, if for any reason that we (or our approved supplier) are unable to deliver, then no liability will fall to us; whether in damages or otherwise, for delay of whole or any part of the goods ordered arising from any cause whatsoever.
Delivery will be completed when we deliver the Products to the address you gave us.
If you have requested that your Products must be signed for and if no one is available at your chosen address to take delivery, our carriers will leave you a card explaining that the Products have been returned to a delivery depot, in which case, please contact the number on the card to rearrange delivery.
If you have requested that your Product/s need not be signed for, you must provide instructions as to where to leave the Products. No responsibility can be taken for goods after being left as instructed.
The Products will be your responsibility from the completion of delivery.

Your consumer right of return and refund
This clause only applies if you are a consumer.
If you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a Contract during the period set out below. This means that during the relevant period, if you change your mind or for any other reason you decide you do not want to keep a Product, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund. Advice about your legal right to cancel the Contract is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
Your legal right to cancel a Contract starts from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation, which is when the Contract between us is formed. If the Products have already been delivered to you, you have a cooling off period of 7 (seven) working days in which you may cancel, starting from the day after the day you receive the Products. Working days means that Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays are not included in this period.

If you send us your cancellation notice by e-mail or by post, then your cancellation is effective from the date you sent us the e-mail or posted the letter to us.
If you have simply changed your mind and no longer want the goods and the goods have not yet been despatched, you will receive a full refund and your order will be cancelled.
If you have simply changed your mind and no longer want the goods but the goods have been despatched/ delivered to you, you will receive a full refund of the price that you paid for the goods, less the applicable delivery costs, once the goods have been returned and checked to ensure that they are in the same condition as when we despatched them. If they are not in the same condition, then we reserve the right to reduce the refund by a negotiated/ agreed amount.
You will be responsible for returning the goods to us, including the delivery costs. You must return them as soon as is reasonably practicable. This refund will only apply to unopened bottles and unused line markers, aerosols etc.
If you feel that the goods have been mis-described or faulty, we will refund the price of any defective Product in full, any applicable delivery charges, and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us.
We will process any refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 calendar days of the day on which you gave us notice of cancellation as described above.
We will refund you on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay or direct into your bank account if applicable.

If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.
